Manufacturer 5-Axis Milling CNC Prototype OEM Rapid Metal Prototype
What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is a kind of professional manufacturing
technology that is used to produce high-quality entity models of
three-dimensional designs. Prototypes are useful for design
improvements and can be used as stepping stones for comprehensive
production or engineering testing. With the rapid prototyping, you
can manufacture parts or the products to test for the component fit
and function. According to the analysis results, you can make
further adjustments (about the design, shape, materials, etc.)
before the products finally enter the market. It can help you
effectively save time and costs. A lot of our customers need to
manufacture a entity component quickly to verify the feasibility of
a design or a part. Nowadays, various kinds of rapid prototyping
processes are available. You can choose the process which best
suits your needs. With only thirty years around of development,
rapid prototyping technology, as its name implies, has already been
widely used in many areas. Meanwhile, the rapid prototyping
services are still growing at a fast speed.
SLA(StereoLithography)
- Description: SLA is a photo-curing molding technology, which refers
to the method of forming three-dimensional solid layer by layer
through the polymerization reaction of liquid photosensitive resin
by ultraviolet irradiation. The work piece prepared by SLA has high
dimensional accuracy and is the earliest commercial 3D printing
technology.
- Printing Material: Photosensitive Resin
- Strength: photosensitive resin is insufficient in toughness and
strength and is easily broken. At the same time, under high
temperature conditions, the printed parts are easy to bend and
deform, and the bearing capacity is insufficient.
- Features of finished product: SLA printed workpieces have good
details and smooth surface, which can be colored by spray painting
and other processes.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
- Description:SLS is a selective laser sintering technology, similar
to SLM technology. The difference is the laser power. It is a rapid
prototyping method that uses infrared laser as a heat source to
sinter powder materials and form three-dimensional parts
layer-by-layer.
- Printing Material:Nylon powder, PS powder, PP powder, metal powder,
ceramic powder, resin sand and coated sand (common printing
materials: nylon powder, nylon plus glass fiber)
- Strength:material performance is better than ABS products, and the
strength and toughness are excellent.
- Features of finished product:the finished product has superior
mechanical properties and is suitable for direct production of
measurement models, functional models and small batch of plastic
parts. The disadvantage is that the precision is not high, the
surface of the prototype is relatively rough, and it is generally
required to be polished by hand, sprayed with glass beads, ash, oil
and other post-processing.
Advantages of Rapid Prototyping
- -High degree of automation in forming process
- -Precise entity replication
- -High dimensional accuracy. Dimensional accuracy can be up to±0.1mm
- -Excellent surface quality
- -Unlimited design space
- -No assembly required
- -Fast forming speed and shorter delivery time
- -Saving raw materials
- -Improving product design
